Content of the piece

How do I see music? What stories do I see in my imagination when I listen to music? What is silence? What sound connects people with and without hearing?

A dance theater to a live musical journey from Arvo Pärt to John Cage to Steve Reich, in collaboration with the pianist Zoran Imširović and the sound artist Conrad Hornung, who will be the center of the project in a fusion of classical pieces with modern beats. They will create the musical framework in which, as in a “living experiment”, an attempt will be made to see whether it is possible to see music through movement and dance, to tell stories which are inspired by the music, and finally, through the immediate experience of physical performance, with ever-increasing beats, to get moving together. The music/dance theater is also an explicit invitation to audiences with impaired hearing.
